‘New’ Beyoncé music leaks on Spotify, Apple Music

Previously unreleased Beyoncé music hit major streaming services overnight. But for those of us who slept through the surprise data dump, it’s too late—the music, released under “Queen Carter,” has been purged from Apple Music and Spotify.

The projects seemed to be just old B-sides, rarities, and even the song she produced for the Austin Powers soundtrack in 2002. Fans have pointed out that song titles like “Lost Yo Mind” and “Crazy Feelings” recall mid-2000s, B-Day-era Beyoncé. Apple Music and Spotify did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why this happened.
